Following his success in “St. Elmo’s Fire” and “The Outsiders,” Rob Lowe’s career was thriving until a scandal in the late eighties hindered his ascent to the A-list, leading to a decline in both the quantity and caliber of his roles. Despite this setback, Lowe made a remarkable comeback, thanks to Aaron Sorkin, who cast him in the initial four seasons of “The West Wing.” Subsequently, Lowe charmed audiences in the beloved sitcom “Parks and Recreation” on NBC, lent his voice to Simba in “The Lion Guard,” and is now captivating viewers with his performance in the acclaimed series “9-1-1: Lone Star.”
